“Our family supports all efforts to make that intersection safer so that no other family has to suffer such a tragic loss,” they said.Police believe Gulledge may have disregarded a stop sign and warnings for cyclists to dismount and walk their bikes across the road. But members of the city’s Linear Creekway Parks Advisory Board said the intersection has blind spots and a sloping roadway that are dangerous — even for those who obey the signage.
The board is working with city parks, public works and transportation officials to improve safety throughout the Howard W. Peak Greenway Trails System, which currently covers half of the planned 180 miles of trails encircling San Antonio. But the March 17 fatality has brought attention to a location the panel’s chairman, avid cyclist Greg Hammer, recently called a “tricky intersection.”
They’re also in talks with the Texas Department of Transportation about a reduced speed limit in the 45 mph zone. But Dr. Randall S. Preissig, the board member representing District 4 on the Southwest Side, said drivers use the road as a bypass during rush hour. Laura Lopez, district spokeswoman for the state transportation agency, said it will review the crash and offer suggestions. The city, which maintains the crossing, would be responsible for any traffic study, she said.
